We also get into some of his wildest investigations, what motivates his quest to tell these stories and how his family and friends feel about his adventures. Then it’s time for your dilemmas! From unsupportive mothers and unfortunate bathroom encounters to a boyfriend who’s married to his niece (yes, really). Plus, an update from our unmarried married woman!

This week, we're joined by Arike Alaso for an episode that takes as many chaotic detours as humanly possible. Before getting into your dilemmas, we dissect why Roblox has the younger generation in an iron-clad chokehold and the existential dread of watching people you used to play outside with become actual, full-blown adults. Then we dive headfirst into your messy entries: from the sheer audacity of a friend dating an abusive ex-fiancé, to an open marriage currently hanging on by a thread and full FBI-level cyberstalking just to find a dating app match on Instagram because swiping right normally was apparently too simple. Arike then tells us about building her fabric business, losing her husband, balancing motherhood with ambition and what’s next for Arike Alaso. As always, there are strong opinions, side quests and plenty of laughs. We hope you enjoy this episode brought to you by our friends at Kuda and Busha!

This week, we’re joined by the incredibly hilarious and multi-talented Hauwa Lawal for a special 3-hr Agony Aunt episode. Before the dilemmas, we talk about the realities of running a business in Nigeria, Hauwa’s journey into content creation and why we need to be talking about our history a lot more. Then we get into the crazy entries, from friendship boundaries and telling your friend how you really feel about their parenting, to old flames making very inconvenient reappearances and the age-old problem of sleeping with your best friend and accidentally developing feelings. Safe to say, we had quite a lot to work with. As always, there are strong opinions, slightly questionable advice and loads of laughs.

SHOW NOTES This episode features a real Gen Z baddie, Jaddy of Lagos, founder of Life Studios and The Transformhers, who joins the ladies for a very eventful episode involving fake dreads, the suffering required for beauty, some deeply unserious men and a collection of dilemmas that only get messier as they go. Jaddy also talks about becoming a mother at a young age, her unique relationship with her daughter and family, and what it took to eventually build a life for herself beyond everything she experienced. It’s insightful and deep as always, with plenty to unpack about family, dating, motherhood and starting again, alongside the usual ISWIS detours and opinions.

This week, it's just your favourite yappers, doing what they do best! But, before you get excited, we should warn you that this is not a tour recap; we are saving that for when we are back in the studio! This episode is one of those ones when we remind you (and ourselves) that we are graduates, starting off with a long rambling conversation on the dearth of imaginative problem-solving from global leaders (especially in the UK), what happens when finance bros and politics inadvertently conspire to break the talent pipeline and why reality shows get weird after the first two seasons. This week's dilemmas are interesting; a young lady is anxious about her father dying before walking her down the aisle, and another is disappointed in her partner's lack of generosity. It’s fun and full of "insights". We hope you enjoy this amazing episode, brought to you by our friends at Kuda and Busha!

We’re joined by the extremely talented and hilarious queen, Beverly Adaeze, for a deep dive into her content creation journey, life in the public eye and everything in between. We talk about the constant struggle of never being taken seriously as a funny woman, taking gap years, moving abroad and all the exciting plans she has coming up next. We also unpack internet permanence, cultural differences and after forever, Jola gives a hot take of the week.
